John Lawrence, a labouring gardener, at 1-1314 ton, *lied marry ing the Prisoner in the year 1806, at Thames DittO - n, and produced the - certificate Of a marriage supposed to have taken place between the Prisoner and one William Wornham, in the year 1'772, at Guildford; and which William Worn, ham, he said, he had seen alive a tew days since: The Prisoner admitted the first marriage; but said, that she had parted with herhusband about 25 years ago, and supposed him dead. - She. wasC - o - mmitted for further examination, till the necessary wilnesses can be brought forward to prove the gist marriage. _ _ _ A great tumult took place yesterday in New Comp., ton-street, occasioned by a report that a tradesman there bad drowned his wife. Application being made to the Magistrates, a party of Constables were im mediately sent there to preserve the peace, whO brought the person alluded to before the Magi strates, when the business was investigated; and it appeared that a woman who proved to be his' wife, and who bad been missed since Thursday evening, was yesterday morning lound drowned in• the River, near Milbank. By the testimony of several wit nesses, it appeared that some family disagreements had taken place, between 11)6 4 parties, and they had separated, but were supposed to - be settled, as the wife., at the request of her- husband, had returned Lome on Thursday last. The husband, to rebut the charge, stated, that he set off for Yorkshire on- Thursday evening, and did not return till Sunday; and to corroborate which, he produced a young wo man who came to .town with him. The Magi strates thought it would be • necessary to have more evidence of that fact, and therefore ordered the ,matter to stand-for further inquiry. The mob Who bad collected on- the occasion were proceeding to great acts of violence, having, before-the arrwat ut fhb Constables, broken the windows of t h e h ouse i n Compton-street ; a great concourse of peop , e follow ed toe man to Bow-street, hissing and hue itig bun, aid it was' with the g.eatest difficulty the Officers cooki preserve hen from their fury; two or three of them, however, being taken into custody, put end !o it 'lieu, but it was round necessar; to have a strong party of Constables to remain in Compton-- street all the afternoon. BITITII.-.-011 the 4th inst. at Beaumont Lodge, the ViSetAillteSS ASHBROUIC., of a Sun. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Aim. x. This day' the LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Bank ' ruptcy. EX-PARTE BAMFORD IN THE MATTER OF 3AMFORD. Sir SAMUEL RODIILLY and Mr. WitgomEt.o et!, that this was a Petition. for superseding the Com mission taken out against the Bankrupt, aato, they contended, was not subject to such a Process, not having committed an ad of Bankruptcy. If a' Commission were to stand simply on account of the number of Affidavits tiled in support of it, the Learn ed Counsel admitted that this Commission must stand firm, for the - Affidavits were numerous-c-but they contained nothing. The servant of the Bank rupt had bean examined to prove that he had been denied to his Creditors, but this bad not been made out. A 'Sheritf's Officer. had made oath, thit he had arrested the Bankrupt thirty or forty times at least; but, while this did not amount to an ad of Bankruptcy, the latitude in which the Witness chose to indulge, could riot be calculated to inspire his Lordship with extreme confidence in the accuracy of . his statement. The only other fael, at all resem bling an att. of Bankruptcy, and the one it was pre sumed on which the Petitioning' Creditor .chose principally to rely, was also sworn to by this Sheriff's Officer, who stated, that he having gone -to Mr. Baitiford's house, at the hour of seven in the mot-fl ing, to execute a writ against him, while his partner knocked at tire door, he posted himself on the-op posite side of the way, up a few steps,where, thfciugh means of a fan-light in the door-, he had a view of Mr. B's house, and saw him come down stairs with a candle in his hand,- and some clothes over his arm, he not being then thoroughly dressed. Soon afterwards the door was opened by the servant, and the Officers- went: in. They walked up stairs, and found the Bankrupt's bed not yet cold, but he himself was gone. They . wept through the rest of the house, but without finding him. They then came down stairs, when it ap reared to them that he must have escaped by the back door,. there being the prints of a foot dis . - cernible on some snow which had fallen. - This the Learned Counsel reinarked, - was an exceeding good story, but ithad two faults---it was not true,• and it was impossible that it could be true.. The Bankrupt had sworn positively, that in point of faet, he was not then in the house, and. as tea the . possibility .ot the Officer's having seen what he stated, it.wasno doubt true, that in more prosperous times there had been a fan-light where he represented, but it was equally a faat, that it had, for some considerable time previous to the period in question, given: place , to a deal board, of an inch thick, through which it was impossible that the eyes of the Officer, however vigilant they might be, could at all penetrate. Be sides, the back door in question had no other corn ninnication, than with an area of four or live feet, surroutided on all. sides by, laigh walls and buildings, through which it was impossible that the Bankrupt, or any person else, could have escaped. The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing the Counsel ou the other side, said it- was impossible for him to supersede the Commission an ,the affidavit of the Bankrupt elope, without a trial. He ordered that an issue should b,e joined for the purpose of de termining the question, and. that, if the. Petitioning Creditor chose to insist on any other act of- Bank ruptcy, notice of it should be given to the Bankrupt. EX-PARSE HUDSON IN THE MATTER OF HUDSON. This was an application of having the Petitioning Creditor subjected in costs, and for having the bond assigned over to the Bankrupt. It having appeared that both theßankrupt and the Petitioning Creditor were Attornies; that the Bank rupt carried on business at Stopford, and was indebt ed to Mr. Dimes, the Petitioning Creditor, to the extent of 1801. This latter Gentleman struck a doquet against Mr.. Hudson ; but being unable to shew that he was among that class of Attornies, who, uader the denorninatkin of Money Scriveners, were subject to the Bankrupt Laws, and having also failed to shew any at of Bankruptcy, all farther proceedings dropped. _ S r SAziuEL AOMILLY, however, now contended, that the Petitioning Creditor in this case being a man acquainted with the law, and , who ought, therefore, to have been well, aware of his right to that summum jus-which he was taking to himself, was net like an ordinary Petitioning Creditor, as to whom it n•ight be alledged, that he was ignorant of the nature of the steps adopted by him. It was here also to be remarked, that Mr. Hudson was, through the a& of the petitioning Creditor, subject to a griev ous . injurY for, although the present commission was not to be _persevered in, the etteCl vita doquet being now struck against him was such, under a late At of Parliament, that, should a commission of bankrUpt be at any future period taken out ag:;itisi him, it must, .itrcOnsenuenee of the clowiet , now struck, have a retrospeetiveetfe6t, and render tinge tory every transadion vhicli'froni the present mo- Merit 'he might enter into. .Oct these' ground s the Learned Counsel bol7ed his Lordship nut only gil;'e the Petitioner his costs, but assign to him the bond. • Mr. HART, for the Petitioning ;Creditor, argued that there was here no malice; neither had it been ' attempted to be sheN,vn that Mr. Hudson had sustain ed any damage. He had his aCtion at law, where he would recover, not as here claimed, to the extent of the sum in the bond, whether he was justly en titled to it or not, but' to the actual amount of his damage, be it three times the amount'of the sum . in the bond. There' was therefore no necess i t y whatever for assigning thj bond. . The LORD CHANCELLOR said there was not here any ground for preSnMing malice on the part or the Petitioning Creditor.; nor was there any evidence of the extent of damage sustained by 'Mr. Htidson.— It had been held by a decison in the Court of. King's Bench, that the fact of the Bond's being assigned plied malice, and also ascertained the damages to be to the full amount of the sum in the bond. Though Ins Lordship was not satisfied that these were ferenus which necessarily arose in every case, from . the assigning of the bend, mil; he wished not to ad in opposition to this doctrine. He should not, there fore, assign, the bond at p resent , b u t s h ou ld a l low Mr. Huison to bring his action,.or to try an issue, nd whatever damages siiould be give:i, to that ex tent would he theu as,ign..the bond.

IS. EX-PARTE DAVEY IN THE MATTER.,OP WOOLET. s Sir SAIKUEL RQMILLv and Mr. t - LLRT stated this to be an application on the part of the creditors of John Parkipsoia , Wooley; now a . Baokrupt, to haVe Thomas Stapleton and Peter . Dupre removed from the situation Of' Assignees unde - r the Commission: Stapleton, aepeared, was the petitioning,Cre ditor ; and it also turned in the Conrse of in quiring into the Bankrupt's affairs, that he had been in the liabit,between the Christmas .previoas to, the - bankruptcy and the 25th of January, when the Commission was taken, out;.01 - 1,purchasing from the Bankrupt, who was a brewer, a variety ofarticles, such as hops, - barley; beans; &c. although he was a corn-faEtor, and of coursea seller; rather, than a consumer, of such articles. At the first meeting under the CommisSio - n, on the 2d of February, -Mr. Stapleton claimed a debt against the ,Bankrupt, .ef which he then exhibited the items, amouniing, within the year preceding4liebankrupty„ and com ing down to within a few days of that event, to 9701. At another meeting, on the 19th of February, the tad of his (Mr. Stapleton's) having received frog the Bankrupt a number of articles, immediately . previous to the bankruptcy, being ° discovered,. he ad mitted that the article s so received might be of the valueof 3001. and declined swearing that they were not worth 4001. Some time afterwards he exhibited a list. of, these article% amounting, according to the value put on them by him to 2871. which the Com missioners having represented to him, that it would be impessible for him to retain to the prejudice of the other Credifors, consistently with any idea he • might entertain ; pf, being Assignee; he agreed, to pay into the general fund. Having done so, however, be•reared up .another . ,elaiM against the Bankrupt Estate, and, was allowed 'finally to prove under the Commission, to• the amount-of upwards of 13001. The other Assignee Was Mr. Dupre, father-in-law to the Bankrupt, who proved a debt to .the amount of 5501. on a ptdmtssory 'note by the Bankrupt, the' consideration. for which,. be. alleged, - was cash ad-. vanced by him to the Bankrppt out of his bureau. This.story the. Creditors thought themselves intitled to doubt, Its well as another allegation, that he had paid with . his own 'money a mortgage ov er part of the flapkrupt's - property. to the amount of 4001. The fad was, 'Mr. Dupre had stipulated to give to the Bankrupt, with his daughter, a marriage portion of 8001. of which the 4001. here paid was a part. There was still another transaction, , which, at the best, was of a suspicious nature, and entitled to in-. quiry, namely, that Mr. Dupre alleged that a lease of a house and other property possessed by him, standing in the name. of the Bankrupt, was in trust for his (Mr. Dupre's) behoof, he being a.foreign er , and little,acqUainted withthe transatting .of besi ness. There was one circumstance, on which, pro bably, the_Centisel on. the other side might fely i namely, that some of the Petitiopers.had withdrawn their names from this Petition. Any, argument founded on this faeA, however, must little avail whtn it was explained that this had arisen in consequence of these _Creditors . having sold th e i r debts to „Mr. Stapl e tp n , or his Attorney, for seven shidingi in the pound. ' Mr. itictlAtips and Mr. AGAR, for the Assignees, contended that there, was nothing in the case of • either which incapacitated them from the office of Assignees. Mr. Stapleton had a t once waived any intpropet advantage he might be supposed to have acquired. He was completely unconnealed with Mr. Dupre, and had offered to undertake the office along with any other of the creditors, all of whom had refused to accept along with him. Air. Dup re ' had sworn to hisdebt ; and he also positively denied that he had stipulated for any marriage portion tobe paid with his daughter. There was no reason, there fore, for alleging that the Assignpes Were connected together, or would not ,study the interest. of the creditors in general in any question Which might' arise. . The LORD' CHANCELLOR said tiva fat, of - the debts of . some of the etitioners having been, par-. chased up, since the etition,_,had been Presented, could riot prejudice the cause of, the Petitioners, in general. , It must, however, have this effe6t authorised hiS Lordship to .infoy.cp:those Creditors who had sold their debts to Mr. Stapleton or his At torney, for se ven s hilling s -in the pound, that if they chose,to apply to the Court, they should bd"fotind entitled to any sum above this composition which the Bankrupt's etreets might. yield ; . or, if. - tliOse Creditors did not chuse to,inake such an application, lie should retain the excess, as a fund payable among the etliel' Creditors. His Lordship felt IP hesitation in saying, that the condpa of Mr. Stapleton ; .in ad, mitting,,On the I,9t,hVehruary, that : he could not sw,-!ar that the articles ; received .by.birn•from the • I.l3Jikrupt did not ;: atount to 404., wbile,on the February he had sworn,to a net debt of nine hundred and seventy poundsi,odd, afforded such. a suspicion aef,tist Mr. Stapleton, as, while it did not warrant . his Lordship in dismissing him from his office, still induced hitn to leave it with the Creditors, at a ge netal meeting to be called ,for the purpose, to decide for themselves, and w say whether-another assignee 9Pg . 4 not to be appointed. to Mr. Dupre was pretty. similar, He;oould.not think that either the one. or the other weres the most fit persons with whom toentrust the.duty of setting up and resisting the same demands.
